GUEST,Nick Dow Lyr Req: Pierre de grenoble (in English Please) (34) RE: Lyr Req: Pierre de grenoble (in English Please) 10 Apr 17


Many thanks to everyone. I am now adapting the English tune which I suspect is badly remembered by the singer in 1906, keeping the two verses collected and adapting the French words. It may all come to nothing in the end, but I'm hopeful.
The English version (if it is a version at all) is entitled 'I told my love I would list for a soldier' The couple part on bad terms, I will add the verses from 'Pierre' so she changes her mind, he gets leave and comes home and she has died of love. He kisses the ground where she lays and embraces her grave stone, then they lie together to take the long sleep.
Sounds like another cheerful Nick Dow song(no change there then!)
Thank you for your help.
kind regards
Nick
